Author: Stephen Pollington This book looks
at all aspects of the early English Warrior from the earliest
times up to 1066. It examines the mentality of the fighting
man, warriorhood, weaponry and warfare.
"An under-the-skin study of the role, rights, duties,
psyche and rituals of the Anglo-Saxon warrior. The author
combines original translations from Norse and Old English
primary sources with archaeological and linguistic evidence
for an in-depth look at the warrior, his weapons, tactics
and logistics. A very refreshing, innovative and well-written
piece of scholarship that illuminates a neglected period of
English history."
